Today, the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) released the preliminary 2018 individual school and district ratings from the School Performance Framework (SPF) report, the state’s accountability system based on student performance.

Each year, schools across Colorado receive a School Performance Framework report, based on performance on various common indicators, including student achievement and growth on state tests.

Adams City High School improved from a red – Turnaround – rating to an orange – Priority Improvement – rating this year. While this is an improvement from the previous year, it is insufficient to get the school out of turnaround status with the state.

The district as a whole received an orange – Priority Improvement – rating, indicating that our district is also entering its eighth year of turnaround status with the state.

This means that ACHS and the district will face action by the State Board of Education this November, due to insufficient progress and achievement levels.

Potential outcomes could include reorganization, enlisting an external management partner, converting all schools to charter schools, seeking innovation status, and at the very bottom of the list, district or school closure.

Adams 14 will work alongside the state to determine the best outcome for students, staff and families in Adams 14. The district will communicate more information in the near future. Updated information will also be available online at www.Adams14.org.

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our students, parents and staff, who together, are helping to prepare ACHS students for incredible futures!
